I used to hate the G-Saviour's space mode because of the exposed upper arm and leg frame, but it kind of grew on me after a while. The models they use in the movie aren't very good, but seeing the design elsewhere, it looks a lot better.

Or you know, not; because more than one person can have an idea in a vacuum. Especially when that idea is so general (I know, let's make the waist thin). And when G-Savior's waists aren't that similar in the first place.

>>17041534>>17041566my own headcannon has all the tech we're use to becoming so ubiquitous to the point of being mundane like the 360 cockpit being rendered virtually leaving us with the 3 screen set up as a redundancy.also a massive revolution in armor design and creation, it seems like the stuff has a ridiculous threshold to beam weaponry, when Mark and Jack are fighting on the colony mirror and Mark finally gets the upper hand, he has to beat on jack like the police from futurerama to put him down.

I wouldn't have though bioluminescent algae were ridiculous at all. Or the most ridiculous thing in UC at any point even if they were, since putting aside how few people know or care about it, there's still multiple Newtype feats that pre-existing it. I do recall finding the idea bioluminescent algae were a solution to mass hunger a bit ridiculous, at least without some further explanation, but not to preposterous levels by any stretch.

>>17045713The algae is pretty much the biggest non-visual complaint that I keep encountering.Need to rewatch it again but yeah, the algae itself isn't the potential food source but the means to make deep sea agriculture viable.

>>17046944whoever it is notes in legible English.i do know it says it at the bottom of the page in katakana, i'm about as trash as most at interpreting it. if i used the right kana chart i think it says kehin ishishoka?

>>17041176Why aren’t drones more prominent? We got mobile dolls in wing and fun funnels, but you’d think the learning computer tech could be reused and eventually phase out humans altogether.Shit, what if that the cause of the calamity war in IBO?

>>17049082and even then MDs aren't fool-proof (g-unit/last outpost has oz prize just wirelessly hacked white fang's MDs to add to their own), though that's just plot shenanigans (character states how SIMPLE it was to hack MDs).

>>17049152Really good AI. It's not totally inconceivable, after all we have shit like the Amuro AI drifting through space in Crossbone Gundam. It's perfectly within the limits of UC technology to have AI capable of human judgement.

The algae spirulina is already consumed by humans. Seaweed is an algae as well and people have been eating that for thousands of years, so algae itself can definitely be a food. What I found weird was the bioluminescent part, not the algae part. The movie doesn't do a good job explaining why that breakthrough is significant in terms of algae farming or world hunger. I'm not sure it even explains it at all.

>>17049152I"m curious how a NT would fare against an AI, since isn't their whole schtick being that they have incredible spatial awareness cause they can sense emotional intentions at a distance, wouldn't An AI basically be invisible to a new type? considering they have no emotions to speak of.

>>17051102Newtypes don't just sense emotional intent and life, though. They also have precognition in general, like when Amuro sensed that the Solar Ray laser was about to be fired. No one died yet and he would have been too far away to sense the emotions, intent, or the presence of Gihren or the person who pushed the button to initiate the colony laser.

More examples might be Quess sensing 5th luna falling to earth and yelling out specific directions for the shuttle pilot to steer, even though she can't see the asteroid properly. Or Amuro and Char on foot inside Axis firing rockets and bazookas at each other, they can vaguely sense where the other person is, but they're also using tricks like remotely triggered rockets to try and kill each other with, yet they both keep missing. That implies that they know they can sense each other's intent and are deliberately trying to make it not so easy to sense where the attack is coming from by using tripwires and misdirection, but they both still manage to escape each blast.

>>17051299Hasegawa's Victory Sidestory manga introduced a B-tier newtype villain whose schtick is being able to lie through his mind, so that only other newtypes would see these illusions.

They beat him when Judau sacrifices the last remaining piece of his ZZ Gundam by using the hi mega cannon as a high powered beam flashbang/flare that illuminates everything. They are then able to see the real enemy casting a shadow, and he gets taken down like the loser he is.

It depends on what you mean by "real" football, because there's several different sports world wide referred to as football. Soccer, especially professional soccer, is though, yes. The professional players tend to be screaming drama queens and prima donnas more concerned with individual success than that of their team.

>>17053726made the distinction because despite most of the world calling it that, america insists their football is the true one (why else would they rename the other sport 'soccer')?>The professional players tend to be screaming drama queens and prima donnas more concerned with individual success than that of their team.that sounds like it could be any professional sport

Not many professional sports I've seen have players diving at the slightest contact to roll around on the ground for audience sympathy they know the referee has been too emasculated to refuse in many cases.

>>17053788You would have to be intentionally lying to assume this level of diving exists in all pro sports and occurs as frequently. The only American "sport" that is just as shameless at acting is WWE wrestling on television.

>>17051291all of this Newtypes vs. AI discussion does bring out a neat thought to me. how rare newtypes seem to be still even in UC 223. Consent goes full ham into research that going by comments here, is easily circumvented by a newtype.
